Originally, the monthly astronomy show was produced by BBC Birmingham, firstly at Pebble Mill and then at The Mailbox.

Some content was also produced at Selsey, the seaside town near Chichester where presenter Sir Patrick Moore lived and had an observatory in the garden of his home.

From 2004 to 2012, the programme was entirely broadcast from Moore’s home, because severe arthritis prevented him from travelling to the studios. He was even unable to go into his observatory or operate a telescope so it was all broadcast from inside the house.

All other production work on the show moved to Bristol in 2011 when The Mailbox closed its national factual programme-making unit.
